Application Process

An application for consent to conduct an exhibition, demonstration or performance of hypnotism shall be made by the applicant or his/her agent.

The application must be accompanied by the required fee

Applicants must make application in good time to ensure the consultation period and where necessary a committee hearing can take place prior to the performance. In cases where a hypnotist has performed at the same venue within the last three years without any problems occurring, this period may be reduced.

Notification to responsible authorities

On making application, the applicant must at the same time forward a copy of the application to the Chief Officer of Police and to the local Fire Authority.

A consultation period of 28 days will then commence.

Authorisation will last for the period of performance or performances at that given venue.
